"Combining the elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz, Bin 389 is matured in American Oak casks including all those that held the previous vintage of Penfolds Grange. This classic wine features intense opulent varietal flavours, balanced oak complexity and a firm, tannin finish. Medium to long term cellaring is required to develop and reveal the full potential of this very promising, complex wine. Decanting is recommended"

"Good hue; medium-bodied, complex blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, chocolate, spice and vanilla, the whole works; will richly repay cellaring if the cork permits. Very good outcome for a challenging vintage."
